Solve 2-1/3*1/4

$$2 - \frac { 1 } { 3 } \times \frac { 1 } { 4 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{23}{12}\approx 1.916666667$$

Solution Steps

Multiply \frac{1}{3} times \frac{1}{4} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$2-\frac{1\times 1}{3\times 4}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{1\times 1}{3\times 4}.

$$2-\frac{1}{12}$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{24}{12}.

$$\frac{24}{12}-\frac{1}{12}$$

Since \frac{24}{12} and \frac{1}{12} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{24-1}{12}$$

Subtract 1 from 24 to get 23.

$$\frac{23}{12}$$

Factor

$$\frac{23}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3} = 1\frac{11}{12} = 1.9166666666666667$$
